international news live from moscow this is he was me thanks for joining us egypt has seen one of its biggest since a revolution two years ago with tens of thousands of venting their anger at president morsi demonstrators are accusing the president of seeking to impose a new era of dictatorship to issued a decree last week granting himself needed absolute power as several people have died and hundreds have been injured in days of unrest as opponents of are to continue the protest until the islamist leader bankstown off his tone barton is and kyra. but the sights the sounds and indeed the smells of protest and of civil disorder are in the air of central cairo tonight behind me in tahrir square there are still thousands of protesters waving their flags chanting to the effect that mohamed morsi the president has betrayed egypt's revolution and speaker after
12:02 am
speaker was grabbing them the megaphones and there are calling the crowds to call on mercy to reverse that declaration giving him sweeping powers last thursday in the streets around the area the sirens and the smell of tear gas was in the air a large crowds have gathered. a lot more young and male in makeup and they are holding standoffs with the police periodic the police are coming in the using tear gas and charging them with police vehicles which are then pelted with stones and bits of smoldering woods the crowds there lighting fires as well so it's very smoky in the streets around just trying to get into this studio to do the reports we had to come through clouds of tear gas gas selves and crowds of running protesters as well a real atmosphere of ferment in central cairo tonight all sparked by that decree
12:03 am
that mohammed morsi mercy made on thursday mercy himself has been anxious to try and calm this outburst he said this decrease only temporary the only reason that it's being done is so that this special committee that's been sitting trying to poor its way towards a new egyptian constitution which is a process that's been dragging on interminably so that that can be done and could be done without in fact interference from the top judges more liberal sections of society saying no this is. exactly the kind of behavior we were expected from hosni mubarak we ousted almost two years ago. and. they are our be newspaper believes the current protests has brought together people of virus religious and political beliefs and feel the revolution has been hijacked whether morsi is edict. divided egypt
12:04 am
even bought a. civil war and fortunately this president is doing the very same things for which. before they are a dictatorship this is what we are looking at now the egyptian people are saying no to the new newly born state of looking at this crowd you cannot tell who is muslim or christian who is liberal leftist this is the real people are saying no to religious fascism making the president of. the president and the muslim brotherhood behind him have already lost their credibility they have promised so many things in the past never kept their promises that's why most of these people are in the streets they were talking about over
12:05 am
a million up to now because they are not happy with. the egyptian president and where he's taking the countries the focus of debate on people of ours cross talk show coming up later today. it was elected democratically elected and he has a mandate for change the support that he house means we don't have a lot to worry about of course is going to be watch yeah he made a mistake he took a chain saw when he just needed a scalpel to adjust claims by teach paying a price politically he's learning so many people have given him their votes and the fact of the matter is that these same people who have given him their votes are disenchanted because they do not believe in the value that you can achieve a democracy by a complete dictatorship. palestinian officials say they will take the investigation into the death of their late leader
12:06 am
yasser arafat to the international criminal court if it's proven he was poisoned his remains were examined on tuesday a team of scientists who could take tissue samples and they will be tested for traces of radioactive substances in several countries results are expected to be revealed in a few months so politicos have been accusing israel of assassination and he died in two thousand and four officially from a stroke that was preceded by a mysterious illness but israel is says it had nothing to gain from his demise political analyst on a shot this as the new investigation into our stealth could be used as a tool to cause a rift between rival palestinian political forces. if there is a poisoning of president balance someone must have put the poison in his food or put his poison on his skin and. someone from his clothes on and to open this investigation would clear. within the movement and within the clause people to yasser arafat who are now the closest people to mahmoud abbas so therefore the
12:07 am
question is is there a political objective on the part of qatar to support such an investigation or is it just an investigation because people really want to know what happened to their leader and they want justice to be achieved. and let's now return to our main story where we are going back to egypt and bringing live pictures from cairo for you and at the moment security forces are using tear gas against early morning protesters in tahrir square live pictures from egypt and of course will be updating you on the developing story and. bring you more as soon as we get it. all right stakes are high in program to arafat's death as it comes as punish time for pakistan stage one for nonmember state observer status ancestry if the bid is approved it would need international recognition of the palestinian state and give
12:08 am
it additional powers like taking issues to the international criminal court and participating in un general assembly debates but she had done me a senior policy analyst said the reason foundation same time says this move will not help to bring peace in the region any clubs so short run i don't doubt they will make things worse. really is that what really been saying that this is an inflammatory for loop which essentially says that the values dylan's are not going to give even they don't even in the oslo accords and if that's the case then they feel no need to continue negotiating negotiations are beginning going with the palestinians so i think for a while for sure this is not going to help the peace process but you know i think from the palestinian standpoint the feeds peace process was not going anywhere anyway and so the bones the open certainly don't have all that much to lose perhaps right now in pushing that probably is released and void obviously on one hand not do anything about this group with about
12:09 am
a bus it doesn't look good it makes them look weak on the other hand if they we could have any further as actually the horten minister of israel has been calling and they lose their only why didn't you know the danger among the palestinians on the whole might rather believe. because it will definitely strengthen him with the palestinians and might not hurt him too much with the israelis. and of course more stories coming out of the south view including. the web as opposed to only leaving all controversial information online library while the new a court summons. on the soldier who allegedly fed all the secrets to weaken the fleet was the only divided over his fate down to all the international news stories just ahead.

deepening e.u. debt crisis is also having an alarming social impact in france the young people disenchanted with the system are increasingly becoming a trucker to radical islam and with a growing number of converts fears of homegrown terrorism are also on the rise. explain. the recent national white police raid on radical islamist groups in france made headlines with a rasta made in all regions the youngest suspected terrorist was only nineteen but it was not the age which shocked so many little men that we discovered a network of seven additional people living primarily in paris. and all these people were born in france and are french nationals they are linked to the radical islamist movement police say the group was plotting at least twenty five terrorist attacks against jewish organizations and schools and age of twelve detainees were french natives who had converted to radical islam experts say this worrying trend
12:16 am

12:17 am
from abroad but with more and more homegrown radical organizations appearing on its soil tracking down possible terrorists with passports would be very hard if not completely impossible security services believe for now the situation is under control as the conversion to radical islam is still relatively rare but no one can guaranteed stays this way and the number of violent incidents by french muslims is already on the increase our secret service are really well experiments to fight this kind of terrorism and they are watching very carefully in the us and they had the date of the most years and all the people who are probably in. radical muslim countries but this doesn't mean that we will stay safe from any. security specialists claim many arab immigrants living in fringe suburbs have already had a taste of warfare taking part in different middle eastern conflict over the past decade as to what could happen if their experience and views are mixed with the growing anger of native french youths perhaps time will tell. r.t.

a book on manning says not all the military are against the alleged whistleblower. both opinion in the military and intelligence and law enforcement is quite divided about this i am not going to lie most people in the military have a very strict by the book attitude towards many of the rules not all the rules but many and would like to see many convicted but i have talked with infantry one of whom who is caught on camera in that infamous collateral murder helicopter video who sees bradley manning is a hero who sees the leaks of the iraq war logs including that helicopter video as an unqualified good because now americans can finally see how that war is actually going in ditto for the afghan war logs there are also people in the f.b.i. who think such a thing is we get leaks is very good for national security and including the former director of the minneapolis office of the f.b.i. only roundly through this is time magazine's person of the year in two thousand and

facebook and twitter are increasingly becoming a dangerous storm of expression in the u.k. there's a growing number of prosecutions resulting from offensive posts on social media oh she's part of boycott reports now from london. do you think before you tweet what if you're in a bad mood or you just have a controversial opinion would you post that as your facebook status you might think that what you type is insignificant considering the last expanse of the internet think again for something that you typed on here you could end up in. paul chambers two years ago the accountant worried that he might not be able to fly due to bad weather tweeted robin hood airport is closed you've got to weaken

12:24 am
about the kind of people who are getting these convictions often they are people with political views and it's a very bad thing when people start to be told that they can say things because their political views are offending others the law used to convict most social media offenses was drafted before twitter and facebook were even conceived it was meant to protect individuals from being harassed or threatened over the telephone or free speach. advocates question how that relates to posting your opinion online the trouble is that when things are post on things like twitter and facebook is that they're there for all to see and for people to share and see the deafening becomes an element of mob rule and then pressure is put on the police forces to act on that rather than abiding to the legal system that we currently heard of teenager matthew woods found out all about more brule after making offensive tweets about a missing five year old girl an angry crowd gathered outside his house and he was
